5 | GEN 1:5 | He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’. |
7 | GEN 1:7 | And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’. |
8 | GEN 1:8 | Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’. |
10 | GEN 1:10 | God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans. |
13 | GEN 1:13 | Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’. |
19 | GEN 1:19 | Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’. |
23 | GEN 1:23 | Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’. |
31 | GEN 1:31 | God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the sixth day’. |
38 | GEN 2:7 | Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person. |
52 | GEN 2:21 | So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body and healed it. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man. |
55 | GEN 2:24 | The first woman was taken from the man’s body, so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person. |
57 | GEN 3:1 | The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. One day Satan gave to the snake the ability to talk to the woman. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?” |
58 | GEN 3:2 | The woman replied, “What God said was, ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit from the tree that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ] |
73 | GEN 3:17 | Then Yahweh said to the man, “You heeded what your wife said, and you ate some of the fruit of the tree concerning which I commanded you saying, ‘Do not eat it.’ So I will make it difficult to grow things in the ground because of what you did. You will have to work hard as long as you live to produce things from the ground to eat. |
76 | GEN 3:20 | The man, whose name was Adam, named his wife Eve, which means ‘living’, because she became the ancestor of all living people. |
81 | GEN 4:1 | Adam ◄had sex/slept► with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’, because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel. |
88 | GEN 4:8 | But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” So they went together. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him. |
90 | GEN 4:10 | Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now it is as though your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged. |
95 | GEN 4:15 | But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that I will punish him severely if he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead. |
96 | GEN 4:16 | So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, which means ‘wandering’, which was east of Eden. |
97 | GEN 4:17 | Some time later, Cain ◄had sex/slept► with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had. |
101 | GEN 4:21 | Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a ◄lyre/stringed instrument► and a flute. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | Lamech’s other wife Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a ◄blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron►. Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah. |
105 | GEN 4:25 | Adam continued to ◄have sex/sleep► with [EUP] his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’, because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” |
108 | GEN 5:2 | He created one man and one woman. He blessed them, and on the day that he created them, he called them ‘human beings’. |
135 | GEN 5:29 | whom he named Noah, which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘relief’, because he said, “He will bring us relief from all the hard work we have been doing to produce food from the ground that Yahweh cursed.” |
229 | GEN 9:23 | Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked. |
231 | GEN 9:25 | He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles. |
233 | GEN 9:27 | And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.” |
236 | GEN 10:1 | ◄This is/I will now give► a list of the descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had many children after the flood. |
243 | GEN 10:8 | Another one of Cush’s descendants was Nimrod. Nimrod was the first person on earth who became a mighty warrior. |
248 | GEN 10:13 | Ham’s son, Egypt, became the ancestor of the Lud, Anam, Lehab and Naphtuh, |
250 | GEN 10:15 | Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, became the father of Sidon, who was his eldest son, and Heth, his younger son. |
260 | GEN 10:25 | Eber became the father of two sons. One of them was named Peleg, which means ‘division’, because during the time he lived, people on [MTY] the earth became divided and scattered everywhere. Peleg’s younger brother was Joktan. |
267 | GEN 10:32 | All those groups descended from the sons of Noah. Each group had its own ◄genealogy/record of people’s ancestors► and each became a separate ethnic group. Those ethnic groups formed after the flood and spread all around the earth. |
270 | GEN 11:3 | Then they said to each other, “◄Hey/Come on►, let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of ◄mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime► to hold them together. |
271 | GEN 11:4 | They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!” |
276 | GEN 11:9 | The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke different languages that the others could not understand, not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth. |
294 | GEN 11:27 | ◄This is/I will now give► a list of the descendants of Terah: Terah’s sons were Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran’s son was named Lot. |
296 | GEN 11:29 | Abram and Nahor both married. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah. Milcah and her younger sister Iscah were the daughters of Haran. |
298 | GEN 11:31 | Terah decided to leave Ur and go to live in Canaan land. So he took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and Abram’s wife Sarai with him. But instead of going to Canaan, they stopped at Haran town and lived there. |
300 | GEN 12:1 | Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave this country where you are now living. Leave your father’s clan and his family. Go to a land that I will show you. |
311 | GEN 12:12 | When the people in Egypt see you, they will say, ‘This woman is his wife!’ and they will kill me in order to get you, but they will not kill you. |
314 | GEN 12:15 | When the king’s officials saw her, they told the king how beautiful she was. And they took her to the king’s palace. |
316 | GEN 12:17 | But because the king had taken Sarai, Abram’s wife, Yahweh caused the king and the others in his household to be inflicted with terrible diseases. |
326 | GEN 13:7 | Furthermore, the descendants of Canaan and Perizzi were also living in that area, and the land really belonged to them. And the men who took care of Abram’s animals started quarreling with the men who took care of Lot’s animals. |
349 | GEN 14:12 | They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time. |
353 | GEN 14:16 | Abram’s men recovered all of the goods that had been taken. They also rescued Lot and all his possessions and also the women and others who had been captured by their enemies. |
354 | GEN 14:17 | As Abram was returning home after he and his men had defeated the armies of King Chedorlaomer and the other kings who had fought alongside him, the king of Sodom went north to meet him in Shaveh Valley, which people call the King’s Valley. |
360 | GEN 14:23 | that I will not accept even one thread or a thong of a sandal from anything that belongs to you. As a result, you will never be able to say, ‘I caused Abram to become rich.’ |
383 | GEN 16:1 | Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar. |
385 | GEN 16:3 | So Abram ◄slept with/had sex with► Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan land. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife. |
393 | GEN 16:11 | The angel also said to her, “Listen to this! You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, which means ‘God hears’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable. |
395 | GEN 16:13 | Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “◄It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?►” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’. |
396 | GEN 16:14 | That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’! It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. |
398 | GEN 16:16 | Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael. |
403 | GEN 17:5 | And no longer will your name be Abram. Instead, your name will be Abraham, which means ‘father of many nations,’ because the people of many nations will descend from you. |
438 | GEN 18:13 | Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why was she thinking, ‘I am too old, so how can I bear a child?’ |
440 | GEN 18:15 | Then Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But Yahweh said, “Don’t deny it! You did laugh.” |
443 | GEN 18:18 | Abraham’s descendants [MTY] will become a great and powerful nation. And people of [MTY] all nations will be blessed because of what I do for him. |
455 | GEN 18:30 | Abraham said, “God, please don’t be angry now. Let me speak again. What will you do if there are only 30 righteous people?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find that there are 30 there.” |
457 | GEN 18:32 | Abraham said, “God, don’t be angry now. Just let me speak one time more. What will you do if you find that there are only ten righteous people there?” Yahweh answered, “I will not destroy the city for the sake of those ten.” |
465 | GEN 19:7 | He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing! |
466 | GEN 19:8 | Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, so I must protect them!” |
467 | GEN 19:9 | But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! If you don’t get out of our way, we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door. |
473 | GEN 19:15 | As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when we destroy/Yahweh destroys the city!” |
474 | GEN 19:16 | When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them. |
475 | GEN 19:17 | When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “If you want to remain alive, run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!” |
476 | GEN 19:18 | But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that! |
480 | GEN 19:22 | But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar which means ‘small’, because Lot said it was small. |
484 | GEN 19:26 | But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back to see what was happening, so she died, and her body later became a pillar of salt. |
490 | GEN 19:32 | Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] without him knowing it. In that way he will cause us to become pregnant and we can bear children.” |
492 | GEN 19:34 | The next day, his older daughter said to ◄his younger daughter/her sister►, “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.” |
499 | GEN 20:3 | But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream during the night and said to him, “Listen to me! You are going to die because the woman you took is another man’s wife.” |
501 | GEN 20:5 | He told me, ‘She is my sister,’ and she also said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this with pure motives and I [SYN] have not done anything wrong yet.” |
503 | GEN 20:7 | Now, return this man’s wife to her husband, because he is ◄a prophet/a man who receives messages from me►. He will pray for you, and you will ◄remain alive/not die►. But if you do not return her to him, you will certainly die, and all the members of your household will also certainly die.” |
507 | GEN 20:11 | Abraham replied, “I said that because I thought, ‘They certainly do not respect God in this place. If they don’t respect God, they will not respect relationships with others. If I say she is my sister, they will try to pay me a bride price to get her. But if I say she is my wife, they will kill me to get her.’ |
509 | GEN 20:13 | Later, when God told me to move away from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is the way you can show that you love me: Everywhere we go, say about me, “This is my brother.”’” |
513 | GEN 20:17 | Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech’s wife and his slave girls so that they could become pregnant. |
514 | GEN 20:18 | This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah. |
517 | GEN 21:3 | Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to. |
523 | GEN 21:9 | ◄One day/During the feast► Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was ◄making fun of/playing with► Isaac. |
539 | GEN 21:25 | Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized. |
545 | GEN 21:31 | So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, because there the two of them made that agreement. |
549 | GEN 22:1 | Several years later, God tested Abraham to find out whether Abraham really trusted in him and would obey him. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.” |
555 | GEN 22:7 | Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and coals to light a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” |
559 | GEN 22:11 | But an angel who was really Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!” |
562 | GEN 22:14 | Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.” |
565 | GEN 22:17 | that some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’ |
568 | GEN 22:20 | After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.” |
571 | GEN 22:23 | who was the father of Rebekah, who later became Isaac’s wife. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor. |
576 | GEN 23:4 | “I am a foreigner [DOU] living among you, so I do not own any land here. Sell me some land here so that I can bury my wife’s body.” |
578 | GEN 23:6 | “Sir, you are a powerful prince among us. Choose one of our finest tombs and bury your wife’s body in it. None of us will refuse to sell land to you for a tomb for your relatives’ bodies.” |
580 | GEN 23:8 | He said to them, “If you say that you are willing for me to bury my wife’s body here, listen to me, and ask Ephron, the son of Zohar for me, |
585 | GEN 23:13 | and said to Ephron, as all the others were listening, “No, listen to me. If you are willing, I will pay for the field. You tell me what the price is, and I will give it to you. If you accept it, the field will become mine, and I can bury my wife’s body there.” |
587 | GEN 23:15 | “Sir, listen to me. The land is worth 400 pieces of silver. But the price is not important to you and me. Give me the money and bury your wife’s body there.” |
589 | GEN 23:17 | So Ephron’s field in the Machpelah area, near Mamre, and the cave in the field, and all the trees that were in the field inside the boundaries of the land, became Abraham’s possession. |
590 | GEN 23:18 | It became Abraham’s property as all the descendants of Heth were listening there at the city gate. |
